DescriptionA simple platformer made of ASCII characters. Inspired from VVVVVV, as seen in the game since you can flip gravity.
I LOVE how big this game has gotten! This is getting more upvotes that I ever imagined, and more lines of code than I ever though I would put in a program! Thanks everyone who's played, everyone's who's upvoted this game, and to whoever gave me suggestions on how to make the game better! This game would not be in the position it is if it weren't for you all! THANK YOU ALL!
About Moving Blocks: These blocks will be postponed in the next update until a smooth engine is whipped up. I am having technical issues with it, going to fast and collision detection not exactly working. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, anyways, enjoy the rest of the game! Moving Death has been added, but still making a proper, working engine attachment for moving platforms. InstructionsMAIN MENU:

Really appreciate it!PixelStudioYour on a fire!joelableFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfVideo GamesI like to play video games!HobbiesNew update added. I'm probably releasing too many of these in such rapid succession, but who cares! Next I'm going to need to make a way to make custom levels, too add variety to how people play the game. PixelStudioWhat about enemy AI? But only certain levels that would make sensePixelStudioOh and moving walls that make maps harderjoelableFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfVideo GamesI like to play video games!HobbiesI've been thinking of adding moving stuff like walls. I might add moving walls, but I'll have to come up with a simple way of doing it in my code since I didn't do the simplest way of making a text games. PixelStudioMaybe using data in a way? Or CLS but make sure everything spawns where it supposed to and have them in the same spot(if they don't move) or update their location?joelableFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfVideo GamesI like to play video games!HobbiesI've already come up with an excellent idea for making the blocks move and stuff, but IDK about making them move you if you're idle and in your way. That might be a bit complicated, but if I get it to work it'll be great for elevators and stuff!PixelStudioTry this tutorial that I made a few days ago.key-A3W4ENQV
Ai movement that goes towards the player even if their idlejoelableFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfVideo GamesI like to play video games!HobbiesI meant for walls. Like if a moving wall is coming your way, it needs to push you, right? This will prove to be difficult for pretty hard to explain reasons, but I'll try my best. PixelStudioOh lol yeajoelableFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfVideo GamesI like to play video games!HobbiesI'm already starting to test my idea. It will only support one block worth of wall though. PixelStudioNicejoelableFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfVideo GamesI like to play video games!HobbiesThe moving system works, now I need to implement collision detections and stuff like that.

Good game BTW!joelableFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfVideo GamesI like to play video games!HobbiesThanks! Do you have any suggestions for the game? Like any new block functions or level ideas? GuzzlerFirst WeekJoined in the very first week of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteDrawingI like to draw!HobbiesIntermediate ProgrammerI can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming StrengthHow about a block that you can bounce off of? Or how about arrow things that make you go one direction at about x2 speed?joelableFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfVideo GamesI like to play video games!HobbiesBut the thing is for bouncy blocks: the bouncing could not be as smooth as sprites would be, so it would kind of suck. And the Blink Blocks could just about do a similar thing. And double speed blocks... IDK. I might look into how to implement them into the game. But for now, the only things being added in the next update are One Way Blocks. Actually thinking about it though, I now have an idea for bouncy blocks, working similar to Blink Blocks but not quite. Thanks for your suggestions! I'm taking them into consideration. PixelStudioHope I'm not annoying you but found a bug, on lvl 4&5 it is possible to fall outside the map and on lvl 4 if that happens you cannot re-enter the main lvlPixelStudioAlso I don't see any key parts or the bench to craft...joelableFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfVideo GamesI like to play video games!HobbiesThe new Key Parts are not necessary for beating a level, it's just an alternative to getting a Key. Key Parts could be found in a later level. And the bugs don't bother me by the way. They're actually good for me so I can know whats wrong. joelableFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfVideo GamesI like to play video games!HobbiesFor now, Key Parts are only on level 10. I plan to make more levels with it. And I just fixed the glitch. PixelStudioNoicejoelableFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfVideo GamesI like to play video games!HobbiesI'm also hoping to increase the size of levels, so larger, more capable and riddling levels could be made.
